Hey fellas, sitting here looking at the past and thinking about how I came to have my current truck, When my wife and I got married 14 years ago, I owned a 79 F150 4x4 , with a 400 4 speed, I hauled everything you can imagine with it, including pulling a low boy, I even remember go down into a muddy holler with my 79, and a low boy on behind, and picking up a 76 F250 and bringing it up out of that nasty holler on the low boy, and the sound of the 400 as I torqued on her. Now I am not quite as young as I was then, but I have always loved the old 79 since. I owned it about another three years, and then it went to a friend, and eventually the junkyard, after I got rid of the truck, it was in pretty sad shape when I did, but I missed it. A feller that lives down the road from us about three miles, has had an old 79 for about 13 years now, it is the same color, engine, everything, etc, as the one I had. For thirteen years now I have stopped from time to time, and asked him if he would sell it to me, everytime the answer was, no I think I am going to keep it, about five years ago he bought a new Extended cab, 4WD Ford, and I thought here is my chance to get my truck, didn't happen, but now after 13 years I stopped by this spring and to my surprise he says, you know you have been after me for that old truck for thirteen years now, if you really want it that bad I will sell it to you, but it is just an old truck, it has been sitting in the field beside his house for two years unstarted. Needless to say, at that moment I said I'll take it, and I went home to get the money, and now I have put another 2500 into it, and I have everything new, now I am just waiting till summer to paint it, but my dream truck for 13 years is now mine, and I drive it everyday.
